Spring

We have had some wonderful spring-like days recently. One thing I love about spring, usually late March, is that Mike gets the kites out, and the boys will fly kites. Mike and Adam got this one going one day last week. Adam did a very good job of controlling the kite (with Mike's help)

We are on spring break this week. We did not have many plans for the week, other than some house projects. I had hoped that we could get the basement cleaned up, since we still had boxes stacked from re-doing Austin's room.

It worked in our favor, when Mike's mom called last weekend and said they were planning a trip to our house. What better incentive to get things done than company coming?

This morning, Mike and I put the top bunk on top of the bed that has been in Austin's room (the bed that Adam has been sleeping in) Austin had not wanted the top bunk, but we told him that it would be a great way to store the bed, plus when friends come over for night we have a bed ready for them to sleep in. He agreed!

This afternoon, we went to several stores to find a bookshelf for his room. We found one, and after supper Mike got it put together. Then I was able to unpack a box of books that belong in this room.

Adam was helping Mike. At first he sat on the side and gave him encouraging words. Then Mike gave him the job of taking the stickers off the shelf.

Of course, with work you need to have a little fun. Adam found these in the box that the shelf came in.

He rubber banded them to his feet and was quite pleased how much taller they made him. However, ever with the help of this packaging, he is still not tall enough to be out of a booster seat. (that was the first thing he wanted to check)

It is a good feeling to get all this done, but I guess not everything has to be done the first day, right?
